This is my 14th European country!
Ibis Styles
27 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
Well, it looks cool. But the room is SO small. My suitcase was too big to go around the bed. Thankfully, I'm only here one night, so I'll be fine.
Eating at Partigiano
27 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ 🌧 61 °F
It was late when i got to the hotel, so I wasnt picky for food. For my first meal, I had a very interesting take on a five cheese pizza. It had five cheeses, but it didn't have sauce and did have nutsLeia mais
Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 55 °F
The gray tower on the left is where I went. First..... I dont like it when the walkway moves on me. Second..... I don't like it when the floor is see-through (just the last little bit). I started atLeia mais
Typical Street
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
This is pretty typical of what the houses look like. There are some other colors, but mostly pale pastels.
The Journey
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
Since I went down the Pfaffenthal Panoramic Elevator, everywhere I went was uphill. Hindsight, I should have gone back up and just run across the bridge. On my directions, i couldn't tell I was goingLeia mais
New Bridge
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
This is the New Bridge (meaning it's the newest one). It was opened in 1903 (yes, 1903). It's also called the Adolphe Bridge in honor of Grand Duke Adolphe. Hopefully, I can get a better angle on theLeia mais
Upper City

Palais Grand-Ducal
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 57 °F
I learned today that although Luxembourg has a royal family, they do not have a King/Queen or a Prince/Princess. They instead have a Grand Duke: Grand Duke Henri. The Ducal family apparently prefersLeia mais
Luxembourg American Cemetery & Memorial
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
I didn't think I would have time to come here, but I took an Über which saved me about an hour (30 min each way). I'm glad I did!
Memorial and Grounds
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
This was a beautiful memorial to the soldiers.
General Patton
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Had General Patton not been buried here, I probably wouldn't have come across this cemetery/memorial. He wanted to be buried with his troups. He is the only 4-star general to be buried outside of theLeia mais

These 5 soldiers were part of E Company – 506 Parachute Inf. Regmt. 101 Airborne Division; otherwise known as Easy Company. This was the company that the show Band of Brothers was based on.

Monument of Dicks and Lentz

The monument of Dicks and Lentz was created to remember these two poets who, along with other things, created the national anthem for Luxembourg.
Outside Palace
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
It's hard to tell, but that is a light post, and it has a face in the opening. It gets even creapier. The face is made so that it is an optical illusion, and its eyes seem to follow you.
Motto of Luxembourg
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F
This shows the national motto of Luxembourg: We want to stay what we are
St michaels church
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 63 °F

This is such a beautiful country!
View
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
This is a view of one of their universities.
Wenzel
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
This name looked like Wendel, and since Luxembourg borders Germany on its eastern side, I thought this may have been an alternate spelling from a long time ago.
I found out that the path was in honorLeia mais
Motto
28 de julho, Luxemburgo ⋅ ⛅ 64 °F
One of the names that is given to Luxembourg is the "Land of Roses". In honor of that, they put a thorn coming out of the side of the wall.
